Brussels Croydon Fokker Fviib Leave Mail Manufactured Ready Sabca Sabena
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a Sabca-manufactured Fokker FVIIb-3ms, registered OO-AIH, sits poised for departure from Brussels Airport, ready to embark on a night mail flight to Croydon in London. The Fokker FVIIb-3ms, a versatile and popular aircraft during the interwar period, was manufactured by Sabca, the Societe Anonyme Belge de Constructions Aeronautiques, in Belgium. The image captures the sense of anticipation and excitement that comes with the departure of an aircraft, as the crew prepares for the long journey ahead. The plane's powerful engines are warmed up, and the landing lights illuminate the tarmac, casting long shadows as the crew checks the final details before takeoff. The night sky is dark and starry, adding to the sense of mystery and adventure that comes with air travel in the early 20th century. The Fokker FVIIb-3ms was a significant aircraft in its time, known for its reliability and versatility. It was used for various purposes, including passenger transport, mail delivery, and even military reconnaissance. In this photograph, we see it in its role as a mail plane, an essential service that helped to connect people and places across great distances. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the important role that companies like Sabca played in shaping the industry. The Fokker FVIIb-3ms, OO-AIH, may have been just one of many aircraft that made the journey between Brussels and Croydon, but it represents an important chapter in the story of air travel and the people who made it possible.
